“It matters that Americans see what’s happening. I’ve been doing this [for] a long time. I never really thought that I would see … have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children,” expressed President Biden.
While White House national security aides claimed they had not seen the images, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby trusted the president’s assertion. He stated that although he hadn’t personally seen the beheading photos, he believed in their existence.
The White House later backtracked on President Biden’s comments, clarifying that neither he nor U.S. officials had seen or independently verified the reports. The president based his confirmation on allegations put forward by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson, Tal Heinrich.
Originating from Israeli Major General Itai Veruv, reports emerged that babies and toddlers were among the victims found in Kfar Aza kibbutz, near the Israeli border with Gaza. Major General Veruv described the horrific scenes of beheadings and the Israel Defense Forces’ efforts to recover the dead.
Despite some confusion surrounding the verification of these claims, the IDF allowed international media to tour the affected areas, confirming the “massacre” carried out by Hamas terrorists.
President Biden condemned the actions of terrorist groups, particularly Hamas, for bringing “sheer evil” into the world and causing immense suffering. He likened these events to some of the worst atrocities in history, stating that it was the “deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.”
Hamas denied the reports, accusing Israel of spreading lies without evidence. However, the IDF confirmed that women, the elderly, and children, including toddlers, were brutally butchered by Hamas in towns like Kfar Aza.
In response to the attacks, President Biden assured Prime Minister Netanyahu of the United States’ support by sending additional ammunition for Israel’s defense system and positioning its carrier fleet in the eastern Mediterranean. The United States also deployed specialists to aid in hostage recovery.
President Biden revealed that some Arab nations were also assisting Israel, and he discussed the situation with President Mohamed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need.
As little photo evidence of the atrocities has been publicly released, President Biden’s comments serve as an official acknowledgment of the Israeli accounts of infant beheadings by Hamas.
‘Sheer Evil’
President Biden’s condemnation of Hamas’s actions as “sheer evil” resonates with the immense suffering caused by these terrorist groups. The president compared these events to some of history’s worst atrocities, emphasizing the need for justice and global support.
Correction: A previous version of this article misstated that Israeli Major General Itai Veruv directly told CNN that babies were among those decapitated. It is not clear which victims were among the beheaded. The Epoch Times regrets the error.
